Chapter 239, Vertical and Horizontal

His Royal Highness the King of Jin suddenly said: "Fifth Miss Shen, speaking of your sixth brother Shen Da is very knowledgeable, it can be said that he is well-versed in ancient and modern times, and has won the praise of my father and even Pan Shoufu and Liang Lao. ”

Shen Laidi heard him praise like this, and was about to say two words, but then His Royal Highness the King of Jin asked again: "I don't know who is the most talented in the heart of Shen Wugirl, this king and Lord Shen?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Nanguo and Yan Chunzhen had some meaning of watching jokes.

Shen Laidi said: "Naturally..."

Shen Laidi was about to praise His Royal Highness the King of Jin, but she heard His Royal Highness the King of Jin directly seal her retreat and said, "Tell the truth." ”

Shen Laidi secretly scolded His Royal Highness the King of Jin in her heart, but His Royal Highness the King of Jin seemed to know and asked, "Are you scolding this king?" ”

Shen Laidi hurriedly shook her head.

She thought for a moment and said, "It's not comparable. ”

"Huh?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin can recite poems at the age of three, write a good handwriting at the age of seven, debate the government with Tian Taishi at the age of ten, and become the champion at the age of thirteen. He paused, and then said, "When the courtiers were ten years old, they were still struggling with what clothes to wear." ”

Old Madam Pan looked at King Jin teasing her, pretending not to hear, and her eyes were slightly aimed ahead.

However, Yan Chunzhen didn't want King Jin to only notice her, so he smiled slightly: "Fifth girl Shen, King Jin is asking you, who is more talented between him and your younger brother?" How do you care about him? ”

Yan Chunzhen originally wanted to curry favor with King Jin, but just now Shen Laidi's words had already responded to His Royal Highness the King of Jin.

She just said that she didn't care about the rumors outside, and said that she had only heard that he was talented and had not actually contacted him, so naturally she would not judge him.

That's her answer.

"The king understands what you mean."

Shen Laidi's heart relaxed.

Yan Chunzhen listened, but didn't understand.

However, she didn't understand, and His Royal Highness King Ran Jin knew her ignorance and stupidity.

His Royal Highness the King of Jin got up, walked to Shen Laidi, looked at the woman who had been facing him with the top of his head, and said a little teasingly:

"I wonder if there is a chance to talk to Miss Shen Wu today?"

"Huh?"

"Naturally, let Shen Wu know more about this king."

The sound of promoting narrowness made Shen Laidi faintly feel that a catastrophe was coming.

Without waiting for her to refuse, His Royal Highness the King of Jin said: "Recently, this king read a book and thought it was very interesting, which said that King Qin Huiwen of the Qin Dynasty once attacked Wei and wanted to seize the land of Shangluo, but he sent troops for three years and spent a lot of troops and never knocked this place down, but at that time, a person named Zhang Yi relied on his three-inch tongue to surrender without a fight, you say, how did Zhang Yi do it?" ”

His Royal Highness King Jin smiled at the other two girls and said, "If Miss Wu and Miss Yan have any high opinions, they can also come and listen to them." ”

What King Qin Huiwen, what Zhang Yi, they have never heard.

Wu Nanguo and Yan Chunzhen lowered their heads slightly, not daring to speak, but Yan Chunzhen said wisely: "The courtiers want to hear Miss Shen's opinion. ”

Wu Nanguo nodded again and again and threw the matter out.

King Jin just smiled.

He looked at Shen Laidi, looked at her frowning, seemed to be thinking seriously, his heart moved slightly, and asked, "You said to listen to it?" ”

Although Mrs. Pan has read a lot of books and knows a little about the story of Zhang Yi and King Wei Huiwen, she only knows that there are two people, but this asks a little girl? It's a bit hard.

If Shen Laidi doesn't know, she bluntly says that she doesn't know, but if she doesn't know how to pretend to understand, she makes people see the joke in vain.

She is the daughter of the Shen family, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't be nosy, but who made her owe Zhong Jinxiu.

She coughed lightly and said, "Fifth Miss Shen, what King Jin said is a major matter of the country, if you don't understand, it's okay." ”

Shen Laidi arched her hand slightly, and said: "Thank you, old lady, it's just that this matter, the courtiers happened to have seen it, and there is a biography of Zhang Yi in the historical records, which tells about this matter." ”

She paused for a moment and said, "Zhang Yi is a person who entered the Guiguzi Sect in his early years and learned the art of vertical and horizontal. After leaving the mountain, he was appreciated by King Qin Hui, named Xiangguo, and was ordered to send envoys to lobby various countries to break the "vertical" with "horizontal" and "vertical", so as to promote the friendship of all countries to Qin State, and was named Wuxinjun. Five cities were given as food towns (Baidu). ”

"As for what the King of Jin said that he lobbied Wei to send the land of Shangluo to the State of Qin, in fact, it was not a gift but an exchange, the land of Shangluo was originally the State of Qin, and the State of Qin took it back, naturally. But at that time, the Qin State occupied 10,000 young and middle-aged people near the Pi clan of the Wei State, and the land of Shangluo belonged to the Qin State, and Zhang Yi at that time lobbied the King of Wei to exchange the land of Shangluo of the Qin State in exchange for the support of the Wei State and the Qin State, and he Wei State did not suffer a loss, which is this psychology, so that the King of Wei agreed. ”

"Secondly, Wei and Chu have been enemies for decades, Wei wants to attack Chu, and Chu also wants to regain the land, so he was in urgent need of soldiers and horses at that time, so he was lobbied."

King Jin looked at her gaze from the initial ridicule to the final darkness, Shen Laidi, you really belong to this king.

Shen Laidi looked at His Royal Highness the King of Jin and asked, "Does His Royal Highness the King of Jin like Zhang Yi?" ”

"Of course, he is one of the most admired strategists of this king."

"But I don't like him, if he is put in our Great Song Dynasty, he will be a wicked person who is disloyal and unfilial, he is from Wei, but he helps Qin, and in the end he can't get along in Qin and returns to Wei, how can such a person be touted?"

King Jin smiled, and wanted to say a word about the benevolence of women, capable people with lofty ideals in ancient times, uninhibited, but from a distance he saw the emperor and a group of ministers walking this way, he missed Shen Laidi, and walked a few steps forward.

"Father..."

At this moment, everyone found out that the emperor was behind, as well as the old ministers of the court, and Shen Mingze.

"The courtiers ask the emperor for peace, long live the emperor, long live long live."

"Get up."

Shen Laidi got up, and at this moment, the emperor sat on the chair next to Mrs. Pan, beckoned Shen Laidi to step forward, and said, "You are the fifth lady of the Shen family, the future princess of King Jin?" ”

Shen Laidi said: "Yes." ”

"I have given a good marriage this time, and you can go to the top exam for your talents. Fortunately, I set it for King Jin first, otherwise such a good daughter-in-law would have been promised to others by your family. ”

What Shen Laidi said just now was clearly heard by those old ministers. With such a talent, people have to admit defeat.

It's just that the scholar of Hallym University next to him, Yan Xu, still a little disbelieving, asked: "I don't know Miss Shen Wu, can you know what is vertical and what is horizontal?" ”

Shen Laidi said: "It's better for Lord Yan to ask this question to the girls of the Wu family and the girls of the Yan family." They hadn't had a chance to speak yet. ”

King Jin smiled, this little girl is provoking.

Shen Mingze said: "Fifth sister, it is your honor to have Lord Yan ask a question, even if you think that Lord Yan's question is simple, you can't help but reply." ”

Shen Mingze is now in the Imperial City Division, and he is cautious, and recently because his fifth sister has been arranged, he is naturally angry in his heart, so he proposed to let the emperor take a look at the talent of her fifth sister.

This is the person he personally cultivated.

Yan Dadao: "I don't know if Miss Wu and Miss Yan know?" ”

Wu Nanguo and Yan Chunzhen were stared at by so many old ministers, and their faces were pale.

Lord Yan couldn't look at the two young ladies, and said a little angrily: "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, no need to twist." And this question is much simpler than what Miss Shen said just now. ”

It's simple, but they still don't know it.

I don't know and don't respond, which is even more annoying.

Lord Yan looked at Shen Laidi helplessly and said, "Please Miss Shen." ”

"Vertical means that small countries unite to deal with strong countries, and horizontal means that one strong country attacks all weak."

Shen Laidi responded to this matter easily, thinking that today's incident can block everyone.

Then Mrs. Pan personally sent Shen Laidi out of the palace, and when she arrived at Shen's house, she naturally begged for a cup of tea.

Mrs. Pan came, in addition to congratulating the Shen family, she also wanted to see Zhong Jinxiu, Zhong Jinxiu heard what happened in the palace today, she was slightly worried, and when she was the only one and Mrs. Pan, she asked: "Will this be too outstanding and cause the emperor to be jealous?" ”

Old Madam Pan said with a smile: "No, the emperor also hopes that the girl of the Shen family will be excellent, so that he can help him block the mouths of outsiders." Other topics are not enough to prove the excellence of the Shen family's girl, and when you go back to this topic today, those old ministers will definitely ask about their own girls, how many can they answer? They're going to die. ”

Zhong Jinxiu was relieved.

"Thank you for mentioning the old lady, I said that I wanted to invite Mrs. Pan to come over to teach etiquette at home, but I was afraid that the old lady would not agree, so I was embarrassed to speak."

Old Madam Pan glanced at her angrily and said, "As soon as today passes, the wedding date of His Royal Highness King Jin should also be set, and the wedding date will be certain, and the palace will send someone to teach your sister-in-law." ”

Yes, the dust is settled.

"But I'm here today for one more thing, and I want to tell you."

"Old Madam Pan, please speak."

"Zhong Hao, the son of your third room, is going to marry Jiang Qing, have you heard about it?"

Zhong Jinxiu nodded.

"This is such nonsense, how can they agree? As the head of the family, your father should also be persuaded to persuade him? ”

Only then did Zhong Jinxiu realize the seriousness of this matter.

The legend over there is that it was the Jiang family who coerced and lured, so he had to agree to this family business, with his father here, who would dare to force him to the Zhong family?

This means that his father doesn't care about the life or death of the other two rooms, and if he really marries Jiang Qing in the future, his father will end up with a reputation of ignoring his brothers and nephews.

Especially Zhong Hao is still serving under his eldest brother's name.

What a terrible thing people say.

"Thank you Mrs. Pan for mentioning it, I will definitely go back and tell my father about this."

Mrs. Pan didn't say anything and left.

Then the Yin family came over and asked, "Can you mention the matter of letting Old Lady Pan be the mother of the mother?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu bowed his head.

"Mrs. Pan is old, and besides, the fifth sister will become the crown princess in the future, so Mrs. Pan doesn't dare to accept this matter, for fear of delay. However, he did introduce a nurturing grandmother. ”

Zhong Jinxiu knew that there was such a nurturing grandmother in the palace, who was the most strict, so she could cope with the past.

Although Yin Shi saw that although he refused, he introduced a more famous one, and he was naturally happy in his heart, and said that Mrs. Pan was sensible.

Zhong Jinxiu said: "Yes, Mrs. Pan is enthusiastic. ”
